Solar PV

We supply and install Solar PV systems nationwide which generate electricity in any weather. The Feed-In-Tariff provides income from generated and exported electricity from Solar PV. We install all our systems adhering to the current regulations.

Let the British sunshine save (and even earn) you money…

We give FREE no obligation advice, whether it is over the phone or when we are visiting for a Solar PV survey. All of our consultants and installers are fully trained to offer the best service possible to you. Contact us today for a FREE no obligation quote or advice. We have all of the necessary insurances in place to ensure that complete peace of mind is there for both you and us. We have lifetime membership certification with the Independent Warranty Association IWA which covers all of our installations.

Solar PV Systems

Here at ERG we are Preston’s solar panel experts, and we work across the country to provide affordable and effective solar panel systems. Every solar panel system consists of different components. The panels themselves are incredibly important, but they would be useless without the connected inverter.

A solar panel system is the term used to describe all of the components that work together to provide solar power to your home. The components include: the solar panels, the inverter and the battery.

What is a solar panel inverter?

The solar panel inverter is essentially the heart of any solar panel system. The inverter is responsible for taking the energy produced by the solar panels, and converting this to electricity that can be used by your home and the national grid. The energy produced by roof solar panels is direct current, and this has to be converted to grid accepting alternating current. There are different sizes and types of inverter that suit different solar panel systems. These include:

The Stand Alone Inverter

This is used in an isolated system where feeding electricity to the mains is not required. Instead the electricity produced will be used by the system, and will also usually charge an AC battery for use when sunlight is not available.

Grid-tie inverters

These are connected to the grid, so that you can automatically send excess electricity back to the grid for an export rate.

Here at ERG, as solar power experts, we offer:

The Sapphire all black mono 285w panels, along with the Solar Edge inverter and the Solar edge power optimisers.

The panels and the optimizer come with a 25 year warranty, while the inverter has a 20 year warranty.

The Sapphire all black mono 285w panels with the Growatt inverter.

The panels come with a 25 year warranty, while the inverter comes with a 20 year warranty.

Additional Solar PV products you might consider…

Solar iBoost

Solar iBoost+ fits quickly and neatly into your airing cupboard,
simply wired between the existing fused spur and immersion heater.
No need even to change your standard 3kW immersion heater.
It responds rapidly to the varying home consumption and
changing weather ensuring that only excess power is used.
Solar iBoost+ features connections for 2 immersions, switching
between them automatically to maximise electric water heating
systems.

PV + Optimiser

The new PV+ Optimiser means a faster return on investment for new and existing Solar PV installations.
​
What is the problem? When your Solar PV system is generating at optimum capacity, your inverter could potentially be in over-voltage mode and not generating at all. As a consequence this could be costing you £££’s in FIT payments.
​
What is the solution? By monitoring the income supply voltage, the PV+ Optimiser allows your inverter to stay in circuit for longer which prevents nuisance over-voltage shut down. The PV+ can reduce stress through voltage over heating and increase PV generation
